Pros
Pro You can play it for killing and time wasting or you can play it for unlocking all the achievements.
It is that type of game where you can stop after 10 mins and continue tomorrow or in the next brake, or play some hours to finish it. I can't say how long will take for me to finish the demo version, as the game is quite hard if you are not paying attention.
Pro It is pure walk and kill, a little bit of strategy involved but nothing too complex
Pro Nice music and graphics (the feeling if ok)
Pro Simple character creation with different classes

Pro Gold Standard for roguelikes
The controls and replayability have been refined over the years. Whether the player chooses to play with Tiles (graphics) or console (ASCII) the game works well even when choosing online or offline play. Either way there is just enough interface to play the game.
Cons
Con You can die very easy and very fast (is written in the game description too, but still...)
Con A little hard at first but maybe because I jumped on the last difficulty level.
Con Have to fiddle with controls
Being that the game uses an emulated keyboard on screen it works best on tablet, though is not really the preferred method (but is the only one) since it takes up screen space.
